Once the monitoring is over, the
device is handed back to the doctor. The electrodes are removed and the list of
your symptoms will be given to the doctor. The doctor will then interpret the
symptoms with any changes in heart rhythm. It
usually takes about 3-5 days before the results are available. If the holter
fails to record any abnormal heart rhythm, your doctor may then order an event
recorder. This is a small finger tip like device that is inserted under the
chest skin using local anesthesia. It can record heart rhythms for up to a
month.
